So not even booze, just some stale Apfelstrudel.

Nonsense, the Embassy would have good reasons to believe that these boys only did what they had to do protect themselves from a rabid pig.

Welcome back home young heroes.

I only quoted and underlined TRD's definition of "income from employment". I am not concerned by DTA's.

Wether a pension is protected from double taxation by a DTA or not doesn't change that it is considered as "income from employment" by TRD. But please be unpleasant if that suits you. But without me. Bye, bye.

Would be nice to check facts before posting. " Section 40 Assessable income is income of the following categories including any amount of tax paid by the payer of income or by any other person on behalf of a taxpayer. (1) Income derived from employment, whether in the form of salary, wage, per diem, bonus, bounty, gratuity, pension, house rent allowance, monetary value of rent-free residence provided by an employer, payment of debt liability of an employee made by an employer, or any money, property or benefit derived from employment.4"

Sorry to disappoint but pensions, as per TRD, are income from employment.

Agree with one exception: Nicer clothes. I don't care much about my look, probably because I don't care much about people.

That makes sense, IMHO.

THB 1000, that's the price of one bottle of wine.

Unlikely to be caused by the Gastro/Colonoscopy, two weeks after the procedure. I had it many times and the first thing I do after paying my bill is to get a big lunch. Don't like fasting 18 hours. Probably you took to "improve your gut bacteria". Nothing beats a healthy steak with a good red wine.

No they couldn't tax at source every ATM withdrawals. But in the context of an audit they can now get all the relevant information from your overseas bank, and hit you hard if the find out that you have lied, or concealed information. ATM withdrawals are remittances, as stated by TRD.

But touchy on that matter, anyway..

But what makes you tick? Please enlighten me. Is Thailand just some kind of a limbo between two trips home?

But what's the point? Watching your bank balance going up?

I am not woke, but I know many places where he would have lost his job over that. Rightly so. Ok TIT and most of us here a male chauvinist pigs, one way or another..

This a constant debate. When someone says 25k is enough I just don't believe it, but I know some poorer Thais have that kind of income and survive.. with unsustainable debts for most of them.. But the answer is in lifestyle. Before retiring I was in a mid level position in a UN agency in Geneva with some extra income from Israel. Altogether THB 500k after tax. This gave me a reasonable lifestyle, good holidays, good restaurants and nice activities like Paragliding, Scuba diving, mountaineering, hiking, skiing.. Family of 4, and I managed to make some savings, fortunately. Here, with a new family of for I try to have the same lifestyle, without the "nice activities" because of age and "TIT". I have been spending all my 300k monthly pensions and denting my savings for the past 9 years. Everything I like is just so expensive. And don't ask, I have no interest in cars, modest Hondas fulfil our needs, Kids don't go to an International School and medical bills are refunded by my health cover.

I use a two step VPN and TOR, started downloading that movie just before Covid.

And up to 65 !! Some of us will need to walk around with a Doctor's certificate for their Benign Prostate Hyperplasia, so that they can justify peeing on the Policeman's/woman leg. Or even not peeing at all.

Jesus ... Christ!

You angry Darling?

Fly.

Posting this kind of video on a public forum should be severely repressed. In fact this gentlemen can sue for libel, but as we know Thai libel laws are applied selectively. Anyhow, we should start to rethink the omnipotence of the so stupid smart phones and dumb social media. We are living now in a weird world, where making a money transfer requires you to grimace into your telephone for 10 minutes.. I am glad I am in the last 10% of my life, I had a bloody good time while things were normal, even with ADD and Asperger.
